The new gatekeeper: repeated warnings

The Facebook snafu brought to attention by Robert Scoble reminds us the benefits of owning "end-to-end" infrastructure. You really do not want to make sure that when you engage with people, you have some way for people to reach you directly on your own turf, and not just on someone else's platform or at least have more than one third party service provider. In any case, do not rely on facebook alone to act in your best interest.
